Art residence of Daria Gitmanovich
Daria Gitmanovich: "The exhibition presents works in which I rethink how female subjectivity is presented in modern culture, using the traditions of figurative portrait painting. These paintings are not connected by one plot or history, and the heroines are not specific girls, except for the portrait of Ekaterina Chudakova, my Nizhny Novgorod model. They are a collective image of the fragments that caught my eye of those whom I saw on the Internet or know personally. Each picture is a separate story. The heroines are caught in the moment, and it is not so important for the viewer to know what happened before or after I am interested in creating an image in which the story is told in fragments. This allows the painting to free itself from concrete interpretation. Hints leave only the materiality of the canvas, paint, color, strokes and shapes. I am interested in what is on the surface - literally and figuratively. So I can create associations, transmit feelings through painting and at the same time pose a question what painting should be like in our time ".
